    There's a tutorial for some simple forged hoops here
    etsy metal: Hoop Earrings Tutorial
    To that design you can then solder some little accent e.g. tiny heart
    or wire wrap the ring with a contrast colour wire etc etc

    Oh I like that one Nic - in my classes I teach making plain loops in the same method, but the planishing of the circle does allow for extra detail like soldering as you suggest. Or even stamping.
